There is one thing very noticeable at all the resorts this sumDer too, and that is the red-headed girls are inn mensely popular all round. That must be because they are so agreeable. A red-headed girl is sure to be jolly, just as homely girl is sure to be bright. There is no nonsense either about 2 red-headed girl. She is full of courage and strength. Many of the pluckiest and most daring swimmers here have hair of the cardinal hue. There were so many of the girls in bathing this morning that the surf reminded one of strawberry water ice. Afterwards the girls stood out on the beach wringing the sea water out of their long, thick .resses. When a half-dozen of them got in a row, with their shining hair flowing out behind them, you might have fancied, if you had good imagin- ation, that there was new sunset at eleven o'clock in the morning, and one. too, that might put the old sunset to the blush. .-PhiLadclphiG Press.

/ Correspondence of the PALATKA NEWS.
WASHINGTON. April IL, 1885,.
The request of the Cockrell COMMITTEES
for data concerning the duties of employ.
ees in the various branches of the ser
vice, has caused much complaint i'm the
several executive departments. ON ac-
count of the large amount Of extra
work imposed on the clerks. In several
of the departments il has been found
necessary to work after hours in order 10
catch up with the current business. II
Is thought that the printing of the data
furnished Ia the committee will require
AT least eight or ten volumes.
The news that two or three of the
Southern military companies decided Ia
withdraw from participation in the Ma
tlonal Drill. ON account of the admis-
sion OF colored troops to competition, is
generally regretted here. Not that il
will have the least effect upon the enter
prise the success of which is So well as
sured. but because ii puts the companies
Withdrawing in "A position which il not
tenable. The idea that Ia compete with
colored companies in the drill is Ia admit
of social equality. is too absurd Ia ad-
mt of argument.
The work of converting the Washing
ton Navy Yard into great ordinance
foundry for the manufacture of steel
guns for the navy is being pushed rap
idly forward. Ii is proposed Ia establish
foundry capable of turning out forty
steel guns of the largest liz, each year.
besides supplying all of the ordinance
stores Of the vessels in commission. To
do this will require the services of one
thousand men and the monthly pay roll
will exceed $4,000.
Although the law strictly prohibits the
sale Of liquors in Washington on sun
day. the saloon keepers generally have

determined that in the future the law
shall be strictly enforced, and in accor-
dance with this decision. they have is

When the Interstate Commerce act
was pending it was pointed out that one
of the most serious difficulties i'm the
way of its satisfactory enforcement
would be the attitude of the Canadian
roads. which would be beyond the con-
troll of the act. and therefore able To
compete without restraint for through
traffic between the West and the sea-
board. The Grand Trunk of Canada has
brought this difficulty home to the
trunk lines by insisting upon terms
which would virtually leave it free To
compete without restraint for the
through traffic. and in that position it
acts with the Chicago and Grand Trunk
which has virtually withdrawn from the
Western Traffic Association. The dan
ger now Is that these Canada lines being
free To take through freights at such
rates as they please, will divert a large
share of the traffic from the lines subject
To the Interstate Commerce act
At the same time a new step is noticed
in the warfare which Canada is waging
against interests OF the United States. A
sudden and sweeping reduction of tolls
on Canadian canals threatens greatly in
creased competition for shippers Of this
country on the lakes The tolls are sub
stantially abolished as to shipments
through the canals to points in Canada,
but not as to shipments to points in the
United States, SO that the effect Is to Of
fer q large bounty through Montreal to
Europe In this respect also the Inter-
State Commerce act gives the Canadians
a great advantage Of which they are not
slow To avail themselves

Troy, n. V, April 11.-There Were
two terrible explosions at the IaGrange
works at Pittsburg, yesterday afternoon.
The first occurred ut 2:i5 and the second

heat of the sun raised the temperature of
the substance which was mixed outside
of the factory. The first explo-
sion scattered fire in the store and
caused the second explosion of six hun
dred pounds of nitro-glycerine. Nothing
was left of large brick building used
as factory but an immense hole in the
ground. Windows We're broken in

The letter of President Cleveland To
the President of the Fishing Union, of
Gloucester. Mass. Is "a remarkable and
important document. It is not such a
letter as Americans Interested in the
fisheries desired to- receive from the
President but the letter was evidently
intended as warning to Canada also.
While we desire that the rights of Canada
be- firmly and efficiently asserted and
maintained, we hope that American
fishermen will not be refused any
privileges to- which they are entitled and
that they will never experience unjust
or unfriendlv treatment from those EN-
ployed in the protection of our rights.
Ii would be folly. however, to put
out of sight the fact that many IN the
United States. including. apparently 2,
the President himself and members of
his cabinet. assert that the fishermen of
the United States have rights in our
waters which we believe they have not
under the. terms of the treaty now in
force, and that there are privileges tO
which they are entitled. in the opinion
of the, President. To which we say they
have no title whatever. From this mis-
understanding. if We assert what We
believe to he our rights. greater miSun-

The arrests have created the greatest
| excitement among the railroad EN-
plOyees of this city. The scene about
the Jail doors. this morning. where the
| relatives of prisoners had gathered To
learn the causes of their arrests, were
of the saddest description. Wives, child
rem, parents, brothers and sisters with
tear-stained faces stood around the en-
trance to the prison, eager to hear the
latest developments and pleading with
the officers for admission to the Jail To
see the prisoners. At o'clock ten more
men were captured at the pay car while
receiving their wages. This makes a
total of fifty-six now in Jail here and it
is supposed that as many more have been
apprehended at other points along the
line.
CONSERVATION prevails among the
prOprietOrs of the fences and dens where
the goods were secreted and sold. In
one instance, the proprietor of notori-
Gus den was detected in the act of burn
ing stolen property. Nearly two hun
dred warrants are still out and it is ex-
pected that the list Of arrests i'm this city
will be swelled to eighty tonight. A
number of houses i'm various parts of the
city were raided to-day and a large
quantity of goods recovered. Every
man arrested had stolen goods some
where.
Among the prisoners are several des-
perate characters who were wanted by
the police for other offences. They
were all armed. and when not taken by
surprise resisted arrest. Numbers over
powered them. however. and all were
safely lodged in Jail.
AN IMPORTANT STATES WITNESS.
The most important arrest made here
was Brakeman Young. He called at
the Jail to see one Of the prisoners this
morning and was Immediately locked
up. At first he protested that he was in
nOcent, but finally admitted that he had
large lot of property at his house and
told how the goods had come into his
